Responding angrily to remarks made by artist and broadcaster Black Rasta on development in Northern Ghana, Kisu NPP published an official Facebook post on July 8, 2026. Black Rasta was pushed to familiarise himself with the facts before he could lecture Northerners about progress in the post, which challenged his narrative.
Tamale still has a lot of undeveloped property, Kisu said, so Black Rasta could put his money into a hospital or factory if he was serious about improving the city's infrastructure. The point being that words spoken without deeds accomplish very little to address the problems facing the area.
Hon. Amin Anta's record was defended in the article as well, with concrete initiatives he has helped launch all over the Northern Region cited.
Building classroom blocks at TAMASCO, NOBISCO, Ambariya, Al-Markazia JHS, and a number of other schools have reportedly been supervised by Amin Anta, according to Kisu. Kisu contrasted these programs with what he called "empty rhetoric" and said that they were genuine investments in the future of children in the area.
Overarchingly, the essay aims to dispel the notion that detractors sometimes portray Northern Ghana's progress as sluggish. Even if there are still obstacles, Kisu hoped to show that progress is being made by mentioning certain schools and projects.
His support for Amin Anta is reflective of the regional political reality that leaders are frequently evaluated based on the concrete results of their efforts rather than their oratory skills.
The dynamic between political players and public pundits is further highlighted by the exchange. Because of his fiery personality, Black Rasta frequently brings up topics of inequity and underdevelopment. Such criticism, according to Kisu's response, can fail to take into account continuing efforts and accomplishments.
Critics in Ghanaian politics call for greater accountability, while politicians tout projects as evidence of progress, creating a recurring issue of rhetoric vs. evidence.
People in the community had different opinions on the post. Amin Anta's backers lauded Kisu's argument, saying that building classrooms is an important first step in filling in the deficiencies in our educational system's infrastructure.
Others said that although these kinds of initiatives are admirable, we still need to fix the bigger systemic problems with healthcare, employment, and industrialisation right now.
This discussion highlights the multifaceted nature of development in Northern Ghana, where addressing one area of need does not eliminate problems in another.
"There is still vast land in Tamale you can go and build a Hospital or Factory" was Kisu's final statement, which served as an ultimatum and a justification.
It praised Amin Anta's track record of producing real initiatives and urged detractors like Black Rasta to stop commenting and start contributing to development. It is clear from the article that loyalty and proof of action are still potent weapons in the fight against criticism in Ghana's political discourse.
